Circular seal surrounded by "THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA", with "EUREKA" atop the central image. A seated woman wearing ancient Roman warrior dress, with a shield at her feet, a spear in one hand, and a crested centurion's helmet, looks over a bay with four sailing ships. A small brown bear at her feet noses at vegetation. A miner in the near distance swings a pickaxe into the dirt near a shovel, pan, and sluice. Tall mountains line the bay, and 31 stars arc through the sky.
